The original Northern Liang Marquis' Mansion was renamed the Liang Prince's Mansion after the Prince's Ceremony. Chen Yue, who had just been promoted to a noble title, was leaning on the armrest of his chair very comfortably and listening to Dong Kun's report on some recent news in the capital.

"Your Majesty, when will you leave to return to Liang? Haha, I'm not used to being called like that." Dong Kun, the deacon of Wentiansi Capital City, was also sitting on one side. This ordinary-looking man was more relaxed than when he first saw Chenyue.

Quite a few.

"It's coming soon, I guess I won't be able to stay for a few more days." Chenyue said with a smile: "When I leave, your brothers Wentiansi will be the ones to look after this capital. Then I will have to work hard for you."

"Hey, what did the prince say?" Dong Kunhan laughed a few times: "This is what brothers should do. With us here, the prince will feel at ease."

Chen Yue smiled and said: "Okay, when the time comes, remember, try to find out as much as possible about the struggles between the major families in the capital and then send them back to Beiliang, but the most important thing to pay attention to is to ensure your own safety."

"No!" Dong Kun cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, ahem, if we go to war with Yan Rong, remember to help our brothers kill a few more barbarians."

"Haha, don't worry." Chenyue laughed.

"Then, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first." Dong Kun grinned, and quietly stepped out.

Not long after Dong Kun went out, Ben Hu came in to report that there was a visitor.

"Are you having a guest?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows curiously: "Who is it? Master Xue?"

Ben Hu shook his head and said, "That man claims to be the Minister of War."

"Oh?" Chen Yue became interested now and chuckled: "Please come in!"

The Minister of War was on the left and right, Zhao Zhongtian and Wu Xinrou. If Zhao Zhongtian came to visit, he must have come with his brother. Since this person was alone, he must be Wu Xinrou who came to Beijing from Nanjiang Road.

Under the guidance of Ben Hu, a young man wearing a third-grade official uniform stepped into Chen Yue's sight, then bent down and saluted: "The Fifth Xinrou, the right minister of the Ministry of War, pays homage to the prince!"

Chen Yue's eyes flashed: "No need to be polite, please sit down!"

This Fifth Xinrou, who made Chen Yue really curious, came to Beiliang Prince's Mansion so unexpectedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chenyue secretly looked at this fifth Xinrou several times, and found that although this person had a respectful attitude, he was actually polite to the point of being polite. He was never condescending, nor did he have the slightest intention to please. In addition, he always had a faint sense of self-confidence about him.

Be aware that you can control everything.

Fifth Xinrou took out a scroll unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have official business to attend to. This is a reward jointly drawn up by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War for the meritorious generals of Northern Liang. Yuwen

Your Excellency specially asked me to send it to the prince for review. If there are no problems, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War will officially issue the document."

"Haha, thank you." Chen Yue smiled and took the scroll and glanced at it for a few times. The rewards for these generals were all discussed a while ago, and there were no changes. Let Chen Yue take a look at them and it was just a process.

Fifth Xinrou sat quietly aside and did not disturb Chenyue.

"Okay, tell the two ministers, that's it." Chen Yue smiled and closed the volume.

"Then I've disturbed the prince, I'll take my leave." Wu Xinrou looked businesslike and didn't even talk about gossip.

"Master Fifth, please stay." Chen Yue stretched out his hand and stopped Fifth Xinrou's steps.

"Do you have anything else to give me, Your Majesty?"

"I want to talk about the art of war with the Fifth Master." Chenyue smiled faintly.

Fifth Xinrou's eyes twitched, and she said with a hint of fear: "The prince is joking. When it comes to the art of war, how many people in the court dare to do anything in front of the prince?"

"Your Excellency, the Minister of War, doesn't seem to be a flatterer, does he?" Chenyue chuckled and said, "Others may not be qualified, but you, who became the Minister of War at a young age, are qualified. Come on!"

Fifth Xinrou gave a bitter smile and cupped her hands: "Since the prince doesn't mind, then I will chat with the prince."

"This is so ridiculous!"

"I wonder what kind of military strategy your lord wants to talk about? Deducing the battle to collect Liao or the battle of Southern Border Road?" Fifth Xinrou asked softly.

Chen Yue smiled and said nothing, slowly stood up and walked into the side room, followed closely by Fifth Xinrou. There was a border map hanging on the wall of the side room. It had almost become Chen Yue's habit to carry the map everywhere.

Chenyue lightly drew his palm across the map and said calmly: "I want to talk to the Vice Minister about the situation at the border."

Wu Xinrou smiled knowingly and said: "It seems that the prince is already preparing to resist Yan Rong. He is really doing his best to relieve the country's worries."

"How's it going? Is there anything you would like to teach me, Sir?" Chen Yue stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to give you advice. I just have a few humble opinions. You can just take it as a joke." Fifth Xinrou looked frightened.

"please!"

Fifth Xinrou narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the map and said slowly: "The destruction of the Northern Jin Dynasty is imminent. After Yan Rong devours the Jin Kingdom, its strength will greatly increase, and its territory will even be comparable to that of our country. It starts from Beiliangshuozhou in the west and ends at Shuozhou in the east.

Pinghan and Hanzhou are all within the attack range of Yanrong. They are actually a great hidden danger for us."

Chen Yue nodded slightly: "Then, if your Excellency the Minister thinks that Yan Rong will enter the country in large numbers, where will they attack first?"

Fifth Xinrou pointed his arm: "The Yanrong grassland is the closest to Beiliang, so we should attack Beiliang first! If I were the Yanrong Khan, I could get hundreds of thousands of strong men after destroying the Jin. If I could recruit people on the land of Beijin,

If 100,000 to 200,000 soldiers are surrendered, the Jin people can rely on the strength of the Pinghan Road border army, and the Yan Rong can send a large number of troops to attack Liang! As for the Yanyun states in Liaodong, they protrude beyond our northern defense line, and they are bound to also

will be attacked."

Chenyue looked at the enthusiastic fifth glance, and then asked: "In your opinion, how should Beiliang and Liaodong defend themselves against the enemy?"

Wu Xinrou smiled and said: "Your Majesty started from Wuguan in Liangzhou and has been in charge of Beiliang for several years. Beiliang's defenses are all arranged forward, with Shuofeng City, Wuguan and Tianlang Pass as the fulcrums to build the front line of defense. If I guess

That’s right. Your Majesty’s plan is to defend yourself against enemies and outside the country’s gates?”

Chen Yue chuckled lightly and signaled Fifth to continue.

"The Marquis of Beiliang's defense knows better than me, so I won't say more. As for Liaodong, I believe that Yanyun and Yunnan are vast and sparsely populated. If we want to defend the enemy from outside the country, it will inevitably cause difficulties in transporting food supplies.

It is difficult to defend for a long time. Therefore, multiple lines of defense should be deployed in Yanyun and Yanyun. If necessary, let the enemy enter and wait for opportunities to annihilate the enemy in the hinterland of Yanyun. However, Yanrong must not be allowed to cross Jianmen Pass. Once entering Jianmen, they will follow the two places.

If we don’t protect it, Liaodong will fall into the enemy’s hands!”

"Hahaha!" Chen Yue raised his head and laughed: "The minister is indeed worthy of his reputation, and everything he said is in line with my wishes! How about we go to Bei Wo Liang and fight the enemy side by side?"

Wu Xinrou's mind paused for a moment at this sudden wooing, but soon he calmly bent over and handed over his hands: "Thank you for your favor, but I'm afraid Wu Wu won't be able to go. The customs of this northern Xinjiang

, I am afraid that as a southerner, I will be acclimatized."

"Haha, it's just a joke!" Chen Yue turned around and laughed.

…

A carriage slowly left from the door of Beiliang Prince's Mansion. Chen Yue stood at the door of the palace, rarely seen, staring at the carriage and murmured:
Chapter completed!
